Borovets Photos

picture taken at top of yastrebetz. only the onr red open there and icey in places. rila part foggy two reds still open very icey. thays about it, they really need snow but none forecasted. doesnt help a coulpe nice runs are closed for the European championship thing in two weeks time.

Only 8 runs open. But don't let that put you off people. Great fun, great people, cheap beer. What more could you want. Perfect conditions if you get up early! #dedication

Thursday was the best day of the week, picture taken up at the top of the yeberetts( however you spell it). Spent most of my week over there. The Rila mountain has been getting packed & icey yesterday as the temp for first time was plus 2 & resort
The conditions have improved again with the 5cm or so top up Wednesday . You can't ski back from the yeberetts over to Rila so you'll have to get the free mini bus. The top mountain still hasn't opened, although I have seen people skiing down
Here my view of the current piste conditions, with the top up snow last weekend & Wednesday the upper pistes are very good , best over @ yeberetts ( amazing 2 runs) & not too busy over there
If you have any children who are not confident going down the reds there are no ski runs open other than the two greens , these are rammed by 10am,I'm been taking my daughter out of ski school as shes bored on these slopes only get 4 runs as the que gets as as long as the drag to the top & been taking her over to yeberetts , the upper red is gentle & only last dips at last 200m
She has done the night ski 3-6 nights with good piste conditions 11 Levs which is much quieter & cheap. Been sat at side whilst she been blasting the runs

Amazing day again , top up Tuesday coming
All piste on two lower mountains are still amazing and the temp at base had been Below freezing . Shame the upper mountain isn't open, although not really needed as all lowers slopes are in excellent conditions
Bashed 30km today, it was that good did the night skiing this evening , off to bed my legs are jelly lol

didn't get the forecast as a big dump , but the snow & very cold temperatures is quality. All runs on the two lower mountains are amazing, powder city
Will try this night skiing later this week, still snowing so cloudy skies but good visibility all over, such a difference from last week, staying cold so they can look after it over the next week,
Hopefully blue skies tomorrow

the snow has arrived as promised but I'm due home so we have missed it. new arrivals will enjoy this weekend

Hope the forecast is true to its word as we arrive on the 25th Jan and really want some decent snow as always had it in Borovets on previous trips!❄️

Just back from a week, 11-18th January. We stayed at the Rila, only one chairlift up to the three slopes outside. Mud showing through, very icy and lots of broken limbs. The Gondola run is shut also. Go to the Yastrebets express run, it's 5 mins away savedin the free shuttle bus, it's honestly much better, I'm a boarder and many skiers and boarders struggled, I was ok , just make those turns !!!

It's not great, quite icy on the slope opposite Rila, took some hard drops today. All the slopes off the main gondola are closed, about 3 separate routes are open and the nursery slopes.

great holiday not great conditions but still a great place.2 days on a board 4 dsys on skis with no queues at all which made up for the lack of snow.

Desperate for a snow fall

super snow:) Welcome season

yesterday was glorious , today is foggy and we are preparing for more snow. most runs are open and in good condition.

Not a cloud in sight - 13:51 Sun

Fantastic snow up top and some melting below, which has led to a lot of ice. Needing some new snow soon before the season is over.

another beautiful view from hotel rila.

Just got home from an excellent week in borovets . Snow on slopes is good, however there has only been one day of snow in over a week so a good covering is definately needed . It is melting at bit at base level, on the roads and paths and becoming a bit slushy bit still great for skiing though .

amazing snow today

another pic.....

went up to slopes today. murkajik at the top was mixed. in places fab powdery snow but in some sunny facing bits it was melting as beautiful sunny day today. did masala and same - mixed! lower portions mud showing through and icy in places. on the whole, holding up ok but could do with a top up!
